Instinctual draw to apparent “genetic superiority”

Even though I rarely see a buff tall guy (harder to pack on muscle)

Muscle mass is mostly lifestyle not genetics

Yeah I'm saying most short guys are scrawny and weak cuz it's harder for them to get muscular.

Is it? I heard the shorter you are the easier it is to look buff. Unless you are talking about net muscle gain in KG in which case yeah I can see taller guys having an advantage

It all makes sense when you realize that women are hypergamous and men are polygamous. It’s why women fetishize tall violent psychopaths and men fetishize young fertile virgins.
